While we have so little time to get this done (just as last year) it seemed rather enjoyable. You can see Repug's analysis at
Repug's NBA playoff preview (round 1)
The points will go as follows.
Round 1 - 1 pt.
Round 2 - 2 pts.
Round 3 - 4 pts.
Champion - 8 pts.
Tiebreaker goes to person who submitted their picks first. (sorry, I couldn't think of a better one)
You can add "in how many" after your pick for fucks and giggles.
